Customs & Packing
Canned and retort foods still require checking
Commercial high-temperature, high-pressure canned goods may qualify for quarantine exemptions.
Travel question: Canned and retort foods still require checking
Not every can or retort pouch is allowed; meat pieces, homemade goods and unclear labels may differ.
Why is this rule in place?
Packaging alone does not prove adequate sterilization.
What should travelers do?
Keep ingredient and shelf-stable sterilization labels. Declare meat-containing or uncertain items before clearance.
Examples & Details
Commercial cans, retort pouches, meat meals, jars, homemade foods
